ShyTorgue are you referring to the video that starts when the aircraft is out of control with the TR severed or is there other footage showing prior to this.
I assume it’s the former in which case there is a lot that could have changed from the initial entry.
I have always been dubious with the Vuichard Technique. Positive forward cyclic to fast accelerating attitude I always found worked best at incipient stages.
Perhaps it’s a technique not suited to teetering hinges.
